Paul Sporer

3:07

I loooove Honeywell, but he's coming back from TJ so I've got him down the list a bit in response to that. Whitley, Keller, Honey, Keller, Sheff

Jeff

3:07

Eno put a Votto comp on Winker not too long ago - are you similarly hyped on him?

Paul Sporer

3:09

Hmmm, that's interesting. I was starting to buy into Winker right before he got hurt, but I'm not *quite* as hyped as Eno and some others

Moelicious

3:09

Strickland is back - will he close again or is the job Will Harris' to lose?

Paul Sporer

3:09

I think it's Will Smith's job

Asking for a friend

3:10

Ward v. Chirinos ROS?

Paul Sporer

3:10

I'm on this Ward hype train!

Ryan

3:10

Given playing time projections for both, would it be ok to drop Wilson Ramos for Taylor Ward? 12 team 5x5.

Paul Sporer

3:11

OK, but not quite THAT heavily on the hype train... still going Ramos

Please help!

3:11

My Mikolas and Suzuki for his Realmuto and F. Peralta? Who ya got?

Paul Sporer

3:12

That's tough bc I'm not sure Peralta makes it to the finish line IP-wise, but the Realmuto over Suzuki disparity is such that I might just take on that Peralta risk anyway

Cool

3:12

Bote's GS on Sunday literally won me my matchup. Have you ever had a down to the wire moment like that, either for you or against you?

Paul Sporer

3:13

Definitely have had game-changing moments on Sundays and it's thrilling, even when you're on the crap end of it. I think it was a random SB that helped my best friend tie me in our AL-only lg on the last day of the season a few years back

Go A's!

3:13

Puig or Calhoun?

Paul Sporer

3:14

I'll go Calhoun. (We discuss him on the pod coming out later today, btw)

Joey

3:15

Time to worry about Eddie Rosario?

Paul Sporer

3:18

Nah, he was electric for two straight months and I'm not that surprised at a comedown, even though it has been extended. He has a 4% HR/FB rate since July 1st and while he is hitting more GBs in that time, I don't think this will last and he'll finish fine

Hobbs

3:18

Are you still buying into Correa long term? I'm thinking of trying to buy low in my 12tm roto dynasty. I have Trea and Story, and I am currently in 1st place. You like either more than Correa?

Paul Sporer

3:21

Yes, I'm still buying Correa for sure. I don't have a ton of split b/w the 3... leaning something like Story, Correa, Turner

Matzsui

3:21

I have limited FAAB remaining. Is adding Eloy for $1 ($1 min) worth the stash?

Paul Sporer

3:22

Ya not a bad gamble at min price even if there isn't a GREAT probability of call up bc CWS is out of it

Zach

3:22

Call your shot special: Alex Bregman will wind up the best Astros hitter in 2019 and beyond, thoughts?

Paul Sporer

3:22

Perfectly plausible. He has the talent to be their best guy for sure

Laura

3:23

Think either bird or moncada provide any value ROS/turn it around? And who would I cut for ryu: Quintana or Castillo? Those guys have been keeping my bench warm but w Bauer’s hitting the DL need a guy I’m not scared to start! Thanks!

Paul Sporer

3:25

Think I'm done w/Q for the ROS and going Ryu/Castillo. As for Bird/Moncada, I'm tepid on both ROS at this point and would rather go for like Alonso and Mondesi or something

James

3:25

Michael Fulmer worth a stash in 14 man roto?

Paul Sporer

3:25

Yes, he's on rehab and it's not like the streaming landscape is so rich anyway

HappyFunBall

3:25

I keep doubting Buchholtz, and he keeps producing when I stream him ... is it time to call him a "hold" (10xMixed) with a few curated starts here and there?

Paul Sporer

3:26

I've actually been using him in my 10 tm H2H for a couple weeks now. I'm as surprised as anyone given my disbelief in him for so long.

3:27

I have too many outfielders in a 5-OF, 12-team OBP. Would you cut Nomar Mazara or Aaron Hicks or just ride it out?

Paul Sporer

3:28

I'm hanging onto both

Aaron

3:28

5x5 roto: Justin Turner or Matt Chapman ROS

Paul Sporer

3:29

The last time someone asked me Turner v. someone, it was Carp just as Carp was heating up and I said Turner easily, so that was cool. I'm picking Chapman not just to go against Turner, but bc I truly believe it (also discuss Chapman on upcoming pod)

Doug

3:32

So did Fiers look good enough to you to be a $5 AL Only keeper next year if Oakland tenders him Arb3? He was a $0 reserve round pick this year as a Tiger.

Paul Sporer

3:33

Hmmm, I could see a $5 keep in AL only if he stays w/OAK, but it's not a lockdown. I'm buying ROS for sure, but not entirely ready to commit to '19

Who is Gerald

3:35

and why is he in every recent chat (here and Klaw) asking about prospects? Did I miss a meme?

Paul Sporer

3:35

Ya, no idea. Is a meme really a meme if you're the only one who gets it? lol

Upton Funk

3:35

Literally just dropping in to share that I'm in a ~NICE~ category race for points in W, with myself and four other teams all tied for 69 wins.

Paul Sporer

3:35

Nice.

Michelle

3:36

In a fight for second place, had injuries and need AVG & Speed in a Deep Mixer (14 team, but 45 man rosters). I read your speedsters piece, but any average helpers I can pick up? Bonus if they are infielders.
